The media act as though questions about vaccines’ potential harm to children have all been answered, but that’s based on “a huge leap of logic,” Jim Carrey writes for the Huffington Post. The court convened to rule on the vaccine cases said vaccines hadn’t caused autism in three of the incidences. But is that really enough evidence—especially when the same court found vaccines did cause autism in two other cases?

“The truth is that no one without a vested interest in the profitability of vaccines has studied all 36 of them in depth,” writes Carrey, whose girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy, is the mother of a child who has autism . “We have never argued that people shouldn't be immunized for the most serious threats including measles and polio, but surely there's a limit as to how many viruses and toxins can be introduced into the body of a small child.”

Jim Carrey needs to stick to being a crappy actor. He is even a worse scientist. There is no link between vaccines and autism. Period. People have this dangerous obsession with this urban legend. Children are dying because of Carrey's paranoia. Thymerisol was found time and again to not cause autism. Then they took thymerisol out of vaccines just to shut these people up. Yet they don't shut up. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are complicit in the death of children and that is not an exaggeration. Spikes in autism rates have been proven to be caused by another sinister factor: our increasing awareness of the disorder and therefore increased diagnoses. It is more likely that Fun With Dick and Jane causes autism. Luckily I am safe because I turned that movie off after the first ten minutes.
